Amazon.co.uk review of “Easy Steps to Chinese”
Fantastic!, 8 Mar 2008
An absolutely brilliant book for beginners trying to learn Chinese on their
own, and with little or no previous knowledge.
The workbook has over 150 colour pages of clear tasks and exercises to
work through. The textbook comes with an audio CD and has information guided with the CD- and exercises as well.
Very easy to use and beginner friendly, it explains everything and builds
your confidence in manageable bites.
Though it may appear to be aimed at a younger audience, it is also perfectly
suitable for adults trying to learn the language. It is child friendly of course,
and like I said, you do not need a teacher or Chinese speaker to learn.
I cannot speak highly enough of it, and recommend it to anyone trying to
learn Chinese.
Great!
55. Upper Canada College 李静明老师在以教师和
家长双重身份使用过《轻松学中文》后说:
“我儿子曾经把中文书往地上一摔,哭着说:‘我再也不想
学这个stupid的Chinese! So boring!’当儿子见到《轻松学中
文》时才第一次喜欢上一本中文教材并在海外坚持学完1—6
册。在HSK考试中,他每个部分都拿了满分。
现在即将成为美国康奈尔大学学生的他常常说:
‘我是我们同学中汉语最棒的。妈妈,幸亏你找到了那本好
